On Wednesday, March 17 around 5:30 a.m. at 26115 Hesperian Blvd. in Hayward, robbers smashed the window of Food Mart and stole an ATM which was empty. "We have not arrested anyone and no money was taken. The top of the ATM was sheared only," said Hayward Police Department, Criminal Investigations Bureau, Lt. Christine Orrey.
